There is nothing in your analysis that cannot be applied to the present situation in Nigeria.

Terrorists anywhere are terrorists , period. Tamil Tigers were pure terrorists who fought the govt for decades.Many countries around the world grapple with the problem of fighting terrorism but the approach used by their govt to attack the problem marks out the serious leaders from cluel.ess leaders.

Tamil is an ethnic group.

The Tamil tigers are a secessionist militia group that wanted to break away from Sri Lanka and sparked off a civil war in the process. Much like Biafra.

Their use of unconventional suicide bombing attacks and high profile assassinations led them to be labelled as terrorists.

They are very very different from Boko Haram a politico religious group that transcends ethnicity and nationality.

Simply giving some of his stolen loot to those he denied good governance.

Lol.
Please my Ekiti people demand better governance.

mrofficial:
Nice one. Unlike the new express road, around Oluyole Extension by Alao Akala without street lights.

Why commission a 2 year old road just to score a cheap point, does he not have any new project?

Uselu Lagos road was reconstructed in 2012 but was only commissioned today in Benin city by the Edo state governor Adams Oshiomole.
In attendance was Bola Tinubu and other APC party members, who urged the public to cast their votes wisely.

Rather surprising the choice of timing. Since the road is over two years old.

*I no gree ! I no gree na in dey tear shirt.
*Na bad word dey put slap for face.
*Your friend wey fit unplug your phone wey dey 12% to charge him own wey dey 98% fit K.I.L.L you

Gosh!

Isn't the use of "ROAST" rather inhumane?

centje:
I like this idea, since it's difficult for the state to maintain natural lawn. And it will perfectly seal in the red soil.

I guess it still needs to be swept unless it will turn brown.



What is star doing at Okpara square?

APGA seems to have the best chance considering the disunity in the other parties.

hardballripplez:
The failure of Jonathan has taught APC a lesson that
a Vice president has to be good as a president, not
just a sidekick. He has to be someone that will be
ready to steer the country if fate puts him in a
higher seat. I Just Hope they will make the best
choice possible. Sai Buhari!!!

Is APC planning to eliminate Buhari

APC just threw away Okorocha with the dirty bath water.

Into Nworie river.

Buhari is just a misfit with any VP candidate.

oziegbe2015:
Osinbajo just ends up beign the ultimate joker card that nails the 2015 election to the apc. He is a professor whose qualification and intellect exceeds that of gej and sambo together. He would complement gmb in vibracy and articulation. He is from the west, knowing politics is a game of numbers you have to seal your block to the best of your advantage, now that we know the stand of the north to gmb, it became imperative that the v.P be from west as the zone enjoys apc support but to further see their advantage even to ondo, ekiti, a westerner is best now the west knows where it stands. Giving the vp to rochas wouldn't have made the west sealed, with the igbos and their hatred for gmb it would have been a diaster to try and please them while they would still go with gej, that would have left the west hanging in balance. Osinbajo is a christian, and for the first time in history a pastor as v.P, this has killed the rumor of an islamic idea pdp strongest point over gmb, osibanjo is not just a pastor but a pastor in one of the biggest christian body. Now he holds a greater advantage naturally even to gej that is a church attendant, osibanjo preaches the gospel itself and lives for it. This would pull back the sympatheizers of jonathan only because he is christian. Osibanjo has associate relationship with adeboye, infact he is a leading piooner of the church we know adeboye influence on the christian comminity. Osibanjo is a fresher who has had good strides in the lagos led fashola govtment. His achievements speaks for a man many undecided votes have asked for fresh change of old politicians, these undecided can see osibanjo for his attributes. Osibanjo can pull the christian community across the east and south that are only supporting gej becos of religion and not performance. Osibanjo is an astute lawyer at his peak and exudes the motto of CHANGE which apc preaches. Osibanjo is coming from the university setting which many youths can associate with becos of lecturers student relationship. Osibanjo does not have the dirty past that any one can use against him. While amaechi and oshomhole would have failed to even secure a typical akwa ibom, calabar, delta, bayelsa that is gej stronghold. Any as v.P would not have been capable to fully convice the east and would have also given loop holes to the west under its control. Their would have been series of cases that would be dug up to rubbish amaechi and oshomole that would utimately make mokery of gmb corruption stand. The game of politics is sealing control of your block first. Osibanjo is the best to seal the west, reach undecided voters, and christians who predominatly occupy the east and south.

If APC is so thoughtful and caring, what prevented them from making Osibanjo their presidential candidate?

They are just grasping at straws.

Just a younger version of worwor

He has always been fugly, nothing new.

However, his attempts to re-balance public finances by curbing imports led to many job losses and the closure of businesses.

Prices rose while living standards fell, leading to a palace coup by Gen Ibrahim Babangida on 27 August 1985. Mr Buhari was imprisoned for 40 months


Yet he wants to return.

When he should be smarting in regret for toppling a democracy and messing up the economy.

Those eyes though, have this sinister look of a terrorist.

Of course I'm talking about Buhari's eyes.

How Buhari Skewed PTF Projects in Favor of His Northern Zone- By Afenifere

The Abacha regime created a parallel government through the Petroleum Trust Fund (PTF) headed by Major General Muhammed Buhari. Nothing else typifies the marginalization of the Yoruba than the lopsidedness of the projects carried out by the PTF. Figures from PTF Situation Reports (Vol. 2 Dec. 98) show that the PTF carried on as if there was no South West.

Of all the roads rehabilitated by the PTF, only 1984.5 kilometres of roads representing 10.84 per cent were carried out in the South West; from where the bulk of the PTF revenue came since the zone consumes over 60 per cent of refined petroleum products. All the Southern States had 4,440.43 kms or 24 per cent of road rehabilitation as against 13,870.47 kms or 76 per cent in the Northern States zone three comprising the North-West States of Jigawa, Kaduna, Kano, Katsina, Kebbi, Sokoto and Zamfara had a lion share of 5020 kms or 27.42 per cent because the Fund’s Chairman, Buhari and the military dictator Sani Abacha were from there; zone four comprising the North-East States of Adamawa, Bauchi, Borno, Gombe, Taraba and Yobe picked 23.48 per cent. This is the zone where Salihijo Ahmed, the late Chief Executive of Afri-Project Consortium APC, the sole consultants that supervised all PTF projects came from.

Figures in other sectors were more scandalous. For instance, under the National Health and Educational Rehabilitation Programme (NHERP), the South West had zero allocation in the tertiary programme, while the North picked 100 per cent. In the vocational programme, the South West had zero while the North had 97 per cent. In the primary area, the South-West had zero against 88 per cent for the North and in the secondary area, it was zero for the South-West and 86 per cent for the North.

The health sector is similar. For the Teaching Hospitals, the South-West had zero while the North had 62 per cent. For the Specialist Hospitals, it was zero for the South-West and 71 per cent for the North; in General/State Hospitals the Yoruba had nothing while the North had 56 per cent for health clinics, it was zero for the South-West against the North’s 100 per cent.

Under the food supply summary, the Southwest had 7.26 per cent compared with 83 per cent for the North, Buhari’s zone having 60.54 per cent to itself.

Demographic Manipulation: The Northern wielders of power have skewed all demographic indicators to marginalise the Yoruba and confer undue advantage on the North. For instance, while the old Kano and Lagos used to have the same number of divisions, various demographic manipulations over the years have brought about absurd disparities between the two states. While the old Lagos remains a state with 20 local governments, the old Kano has become two states-Kano and Jigawa with 77 local governments. These are some of the indices used for revenue sharing.

Yet the same people are now queuing behind their oppressor like zombies.
Very baffling.

Buhari gave the SE PTF bed sheets while he was busy constructing roads in other regions.

satowind:
A soldier was given a three-day leave to attend to his newly wedded wife but on getting home, he realised that his wife was in her menstrual period.

So he decided to send a telegram to his headquarter to extend his leave but with his mother-in-law and other visitors around, he decided to code his message in the military way. This is what followed;

SOLDIER: Omega one, this is omega twelve, danger signal from the field, red alert in front, extend leave. Do you read me?! Red alert in front, extend leave.

HEADQUARTERS: Omega twelve, this is omega one, I read you loud and clear! Attack from the back, resume immediately! I repeat, attack from the back, resume immediately!

I hope I haven't lost my sense of humour.

maclatunji:
So why has the current President not arrested him within your "conclusion"? Your conclusion makes the President even worse than I have described.

My premise is based on the possibility of BH ending if Buhari wins which has not happened yet so no need jumping the gun.

French president and Israeli PM?

maclatunji:
That Nigerians allowed an inept, clueless and awful leader rule over us for over 4 years and hopefully that will never happen again.

What was your conclusion when Nigerian troops entered Sierra Leone and routed the RUF rebels when the late Abacha was in power?

You have made your own ascertions, the second part is unrelated.

However, what if I conclude that he simply called off his foot soldiers.

This picture further buttresses the fact that Buhari's time has long passed.

He should bow out with any honour he has left( if any)

egift:
That is the Primary Duty of the Commander in Chief and President of Nigeria. If Buhari is elected President, he will never fold his hands and preside over the killing of more than 15,000 the way Jonathan has. And it does not matter the part of Nigeria that is troubled, Buhari will not play Politics with it like Jonathan.

He have a very excellent record of dealing decisively with any challenge of insecurity. It is very pathetic for you to demand he performs the duty of a President while you overlook the very Jonathan that occupies the post for now.

But why did the killings start in the first place?

And why will it just end abruptly, because of power shift?

Buhari's interview on channels brought out some afore hidden cluelessness of the APC presidential flag bearer.
Though he claimed he would be able to out an end to BH through fighting corruption in the army and corroboration with neighbouring countries, both are stale ideas that are already being implemented.

If Buhari wins ( an extremely unlikely, albeit statistically possible outcome) and Boko Haram insurgency ends, what will be your conclusion?

Senility personified.

The inspiration to write that book must have come from smoking mouldy Ijebu garri.

Guess he wanted to pull off a "there was a country" but he has only ended up with poorly constructed rendition of market women mudslinging.

Sincerely speaking, this comedian seems to have a much better clue on governing Nigeria than Buhari.

Even Buhari knows he has failed.

This is the plain truth.

I cannot even begin to imagine the trauma the parents must have gone through.

I am so happy it is over.
